"  A  Creole  is  one  born  of  European  parents,  in 
the  American  colonies  of  France  or  Spain,  or  in 
the  Slates,  which  were  once  such  colonies.  Espe- 
cially those  of  French  or  Spanish  descent  who 
are  natives  of  Louisiana  and  their  descendants." 

Marie  Tiieeese  Bourgeois.  1.  Left  an  orphan 
at  a  tender  age,  was  placed  tinder  the  care  of  the 
Ursuline  Ktiiis  in  New  Orleans,  La.,  where  she  mar- 
ried, in  1749,  Rene  Angnste  Chouteau,  a  native  of 
Beam,  France.  He  came  to  New  Orleans  in  early 
youth  and  engaged  in  business,  and  at  the  time  of 
his  death  was  possessed  of  considerable  means. 

2.  Auguste  Chouteau,  married  Marie  Therese 
Cerre. 
Auguste  Chouteau.  2.  Born  in  New  Orleans, 
Sept.  17,  1750.  As  a  youth  of  14,  in  charge  of  the 
first  party  of  colonists,  landed  Feb.  15,  176-i,  on  the 
site  of  the  present  city  of  St.  Louis.  He  superin- 
tended the  erection  of  the  first  house  built,  and  em- 
ployed the  Indian  women  and  children  in  digging  out 
the  cellar  and  carrying  the  earth  away  in  their 
blankets. 

He  was  chief  clerk  of  Maxent,  Laclede  &  Co.,  and 
represented  the  interest  of  Mr.  Laclede  in  the  new 
settlement.  In  the  words  of  Mr.  Laclede  to  Col. 
Chouteau,  "  You  will  proceed  to  the  site  on  the  left 
bank  of  the  river,  where  we  blazed  the  trees,  and 
erect  a  house  to  store  the  tools  and  shelter  the  men.

I  give  you  two  men,  on  whom  you  can  depend,  to  aid 
you,  and  I  will  join  you  before  long."  Upon  the 
death  of  Mr.  Laclede  in  1768,  Col.  Chouteau  settled 
up  his  estate,  and  from  this  time  entered  into  busi- 
ness on  his  own  account.  He  was  then  a  man  of  38, 
grown  up  with  the  village,  known  to  all  the  inhab- 
itants of  this  upper  country,  at  the  head  of  large 
business  interests,  was  acquiring  property,  prominent 
in  the  affairs  of  the  village,  a  man  of  education,  had 
drawn  up  the  first  plat  of  the  village.  All  this  com- 
bined soon  made  him  most  prominent  in  the  place, 
and  in  a  very  few  years  Col.  Chouteau  grew  to  be 
considered  by  his  contemporaries  the  founder  of  the 
place. 

At  the  transfer  to  the  U.  S.  in  1S01,  Col.  Chouteau 
was  the  most  prominent  citizen  of  the  place,  and 
filled  the  following  positions  under  the  new  govern- 
ment :  In  1801,  presiding  justice  of  the  court  of  Oyer 
and  Terminer ;  1S08,  appointed  colonel  of  the  first 
regiment  of  militia ;  1809,  president  of  the  St.  Louis 
board  of  justices,  and  commissioner  of  the  U.  S.  in 
negotiating  several  treaties  with  the  various  tribes  of 
Indians  in  the  vicinity.  In  1807,  he  opened  a  bank- 
ing and  brokerage  house,  the  first  in  the  city.  In 
1806,  was  selected  chairman  at  a  meeting  of  the  citi- 
zens to  ingraft  resolutions  relating  to  the  "dastardly 
attack  on  the  U.  S.  ship  of  war  Chesapeake  by  the 
British  ship  of  war,  the  Leopard."  In  1816  he  was 
elected  first  president  of  the  first  regularly  organized 
banking  house. 

Col.  Chouteau  never  left  St.  Louis,  and  died  there 
Feb.  21,  1825.     He  married  Sept.  21,  1786,  Marie

may  overcome  it ;  I  am  determined  to  try  and  my 
intention  is  to  return  to  my  native  State  to  practice 
law  if  I  can  qualify  myself,  and  while  doing  so  to 
become  U.S.  Senator  from  my  native  State,  and  to 
work  for  this  until  I  am  sixty  years  of  age.  I  will 
pray  to  God  to  give  me  the  resolution  to  persevere
